Attactive Health and sound teeth, bear a close relation to one another. You wouldn’t expect a watch to run If some of the parts or wheels were removed; neither is it reasonable that you should expect good health when some of the vital organs to promote health, are lost. / '' ■■ ■■■ I =r A Full Set of teeth will masticate food more thoroughly than part of a set. You will enjoy the use of teeth that I will replace, and the need of them may be greater than you realize. Come in and talk it over. DR. J. W. HORTON

TWO BIG DAYS

Continued from First Page, feeling allusion to the introductory remarks of the chairman, "I trust I shall not disappoint the expectation of those prebent here today," ,vas the way he put it, and no one can be found that will say he disappointed anyone present. As a story teller he Is the equal of any man that ever visited this town and every story had a point that the dullest could see, and every point had a story. As he progressed with his speech, passing from one topic to another, he kept the crowd In an uproar of laughter. He touched on the tariff question, showing its connection with the trusts, that the republican party being the father of the tariff, and the tariff being the mother of the trusts, that party could not be expected to murder its own offspring by destroying the trusts. Passing to /the subject of consolidation of industrial concerns he illustrated the absorption of the little factories by the big ones with this story: “One time there was a hen that stole - her nest out behind the bam, here she laid a clutch of eggs and in due time hatched out a brood of 12 chickens, 6 hens and 6 roosters. These she raised and weaned, turning them loose in the world to make their own way. Then there was a return of the maternal instinct and she again did likewise, and in due time again hatched a brood and started out to find the older children to introduce them to their little brothers and sisters. In the meantime a Methodist conference had been held in the immediate neighborhood. but owing to the domestic duties of the mother hen she had not heard of it. On rounding the barn the six pullets were at home but there were no roosters in sight; The anxious mother made inquiry of her daughters as to the whereabouts of her sons, and received the prompt reply, ‘They’ve all entered the ministry.’ ” Illustrating the fact that the people will not believe the republican party when it makes promises to enact reforms he told this story: "Once upon a time there was a street arab picked up on the streets of New York and taken to Sunday school. On that occasion the subject of the lesson was the finding of Moses in the bullrushes by Pharoh’s daughter. Particular pains was taken to impress the facts in the case on the street gammin’s mind, and he was especially reminded to not let any of them escape, and subsequent events proved that he did not. When the lesson was over the teacher thought she would see if her new pupil had thoroughly learned his lesson, so she catechised him in this wise: Who was Moses’ mother? Pharoh’s daughter, promptly replied the gammin. No, said the teacher, she was not, it was she who found him in the bullrushes, and she got this reply, "Yes, that’s what she told her folks, but that story don’t go with me.” On the subject of guarantee of bank deposits the Senator among many - other good things said this: “Isn’t it better to have a thief run away with the banx’s funds, if the depositors are all secured and will be paid at once, than it is to hav*. a thief run away with the bank’s funds and leave all the depositors busted?” Can that proposition be denied? Then this, “When any man, anywhere, gets without earning, some man. somewhere, earns without getting.”

Senator Gore’s return would be hailed with delight by every man, woman and child that heard him, as he made every one that was within the sound of his voice his trusted friend. As before stated, Hon. John D. Atwood, chairman of the speakers’bureau, was present after 2 o’clock, and after Senator Gore had concluded his speech he was so urgently pressed for a talk that he reluctantly' consented and was introduced by E. P. Honan. Whether he is a public speaker or not we do not know, but he can make a speech just the same, and forthwith proceeded to do so. His talk was directed to the political condition of the parties in this campaign, and being ip direct touch with the entire country he could at first hand tell just what shape things were in. He reports < conditions everywhere as in the best shape they have been since 1892, and that there is perfect harmony everywhere in the democratic party, while the reverse is true in the republican party. It is, we all know, torn with dissensions in almost every state in the Union. Mr. Atwood is also a story teller of no mean proportions. Adorning the ireint ttiat every promise made ■by the republican party has strings attached to it, he told this story on the Irish: ‘ Mike Finnegan had been a candidate for aiderman in the third ward, and had been cheated out of the nomination by Jemme Flahrity, and he subsequently having been dismissed from the police force, laid that, too, at the door of his enemy. Finally Mike got sick and thought his time had come. He sent for the good Father to come and give him absolution, and the good Father came quickly to his bedside. Mike imparted the news to the good Father that he thought his time had come but he could not die without first getting absolution. Have you any enemies that you have not forgiven? inquired the good Father, and Mike thought of Flahrity. He hadn’t forgiven him, and he didn’t ...-.-■a..?

see how he could forgive him. ‘Do I hev to furgive all me inpmiest’ •’You will have to forgive them all,’ said the good Father. (How could he forgive Flahrity, who had been the cause of all his misfortunes?) ‘And do I hev to furgive Jemme Flahrity, who beat me fur aiderman in th’ third ward, and who had me bounced off me beat as policeman?’ ‘All of your enemies must be forgiven before you can receive absolution,’ repeated the good Father. ‘Well, if I must,’ walled Mike, ‘I must, and I furgive Jemme Flahrity fur all the things he done to me, but—but if I iver git well its no go.’ ” And its just so with the promises made by the republican party in the last 25 years. There were many old lifelong democrats on the stage during the speaking, and among those over 80 years of age we noted John Makeever, 88; Newman Snow, 88; John Jenkinson, 88; David Nowels, 87; John Stively, 86; William Bull, 82; William E. Moore, 81. The weather in the morning was not very promising, but it later cleared off and though most too cool, was a very good day.' The wind blew quite hard and cold when the speaking was going on, making it difficult for the speakers to talk and for the people to hear a part of the time, but taken all in all the local democrats are very well satisfied indeed with the weather, the crowd and the speakers. Brook sent delegations over to the Home-Coming Wednesday and Thursday. Among those here were James and Mrs. Shaeffer who went to school to Jack Gowdy, Charles and Mrs. Bjorkland, John Hershman, Fred Merchant, John Irwin, George and Mrs. Spitler, Peter and Mrs. Miller, Frank and Mrs. Spitler. Wesley Buswell and Frank Davis. »

Several parties came from Morocco, among whom were F. A. Chamblin, Chas. H. Hagen, Joseph A. Martin, trustee of Beaver township, Park Baldwin. Mrs. Guy Baldwin and children, and on Tuesday Dr. Charles E. Triplet took the train here for his boyhood home in Kentucky. , . . '’' . ' ' . ■ Kentland sent some of its noted democrats to hear the gospel of truth on Wednesday. Among these were County Auditor A. E. Purkey and wife. A. D. Washburn and wife, Joshua and John Wildasin and wives.s John. George and Wm. H. Ade were here Thursday. Thursday was "republican day,” and dawned bright and clear. It was a warmer day than Wednesday, and the county committee had the added attraction of the Remington band to furnish music. Ex-Con-gressman Posey of Indiana, and J. K. Gowdy, a former resident of this county, now of near Rushville, were the speakers. The crowd was slightly larger than Wednesday, but the speaking, of course, was not a comparison at all, and was the usual stock in trade of the average spellbinder. The crowds in attendance all week have not been up to the anticipations of many. The ballbon | ascensions were failures Tuesday ‘.■nd Wednesday, but about 11 o’clock Thursday the aeronaut made a very good ascension and parachute drop. In the afternoon, however, he again "fell down” for some reason and the balloon only got up fifty to one hundred feet. The jubilee singers and other attractions have been all right, so far as reported. There have been no immoral shows nor no drunkenness to speak of and no arrests made. The SSO ball game Tuesday between Mt. Ayr and Rensselaer resulted in a victory for-the latter by a score of 4 to 3. Another game for SSO between Rensselaer and Brook was being played yesterday afternoon as we went to press.
